Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I spend a lot of time in the woods and I enjoy wating Bear Grylls show on TV so this seemed like a great gift idea for me. My wife picked it up for my birthday at a local store. I am less then impressed to say the least. I currently have my own survival kit that I put together for well under 30 bucks on Amazon years ago, so I had high hopes for something that costs around 40 bucks. I al also a huge Gerber tool fan. I love their blades and carry their multi-tool everyday. Boy was I dissappointed..... Cons: - poor quality on most items. The snare cord would snap under little pressure. - The gerber multi-tool was tiny and seemed cheap. - Matches came broken - NO COMPASS! - hooks were too bendable - cheap! Pros: - nice size - Bag to hold everything - paracord seems decent - Flint and striker worked well I am sad that this product did not meet my expectations. I really wanted it to be a good product. This will not replace my ghetto kit in my gallon zip-lock bag. My kit cost less and is of much higher quality. This kit has been put in the glove box or my car and will stay there as a back-up. I would not trust this in a real survival situation.
